     AND GLEN MARCUM AS AN OUTSTANDING INDIVIDUAL IN HUMAN SERVICES

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BILL FOSTER

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 21, 2016

  Mr. FOSTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize MorningStar 
Mission as the recipient of the 2016 Outstanding Agency in Human 
Services Award and Glen Marcum as the recipient of the 2016 Outstanding 
Individual in Human Services Award.
  Established in 1909 because of the great need to feed and house 
homeless men, MorningStar Mission now serves men, women, and families 
with children--providing critical services ranging from meals, to 
transitional housing, to permanent supportive housing for homeless 
veterans and a 72-bed facility to allow families to remain intact. For 
its many contributions to our community, MorningStar Mission is to be 
commended.
  Also deserving of commendation is Glen Marcum, who has been an active 
member of our community for over 25 years. In addition to serving as 
President of the Joliet Park District Board of Commissioners, Glen has 
been involved in numerous activities in our area's education and 
nonprofit community, including his current position as a Regional Board 
Member for the American Cancer Society.
  I would also like to recognize the Community Service Council of Will 
County for its commitment to our community and for identifying and 
honoring leaders in the Human Services sector annually since 1972.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
MorningStar Mission and Glen Marcum, and in thanking them for the 
service they have given to our community.
